Billionaire Pickens Says Obama Lacks Energy Plan

Published May 21, 2011

| Associated Press

West Chester – Texas billionaire T. Boone Pickens faulted President Barack Obama on Friday, saying the president has failed to develop the energy plan he promised Americans as a presidential candidate in 2008.

The oil magnate and advocate for alternative fuels said at a town hall meeting at a southeast Pennsylvania university that the Democratic president hasn't followed up on a campaign promise to end America's reliance on Mideast oil within 10 years.

"He's never told us how we're going to get off the Mideast oil, and no one's ever asked him," Pickens said. "We're the only country in the world that has no energy plan."

4 Obama Immigration Claims That Just Aren't True

Are the borders really secure?” is probably not the best set-up for the next Geico commercial. No, they’re really not secure.

This president would have us believe otherwise. His immigration speech in El Paso, Texas, bordered as much on deception as it did physically with Mexico, just over the Rio Grande. President Obama - now candidate Obama -- did his best to convince Americans that our borders are secure and that interior enforcement is up in order to justify amnesty for illegal aliens to appease his special interests supporters and stoke his voting base.

The problem is that when given close scrutiny, the president’s claims range from minor omissions to major whoppers. Here are

Obama’s Middle East speech was every bit as bad as we would expect it to be. His proposals achieve two of his cherished goals.

Obama wants to harm America and harm Israel.

Yesterday, Obama stated in his speech he wants to spend yet more money on the Middle East. He wants financial aid to both Egypt and Tunisia. Earth to Barry, in case you have not noticed, we are broke. America has hit the debt ceiling, and while John Boehner has already raised the white flag of surrender on the debt ceiling issue, it is by no means certain the debt ceiling will be raised.

Conservative author Dinesh D'Souza has provoked a firestorm of controversy with his latest bestseller, The Roots of Obama's Rage.

D'Souza, who is Indian-born, has been denounced as a racist, liar and much else. Even former White House press secretaryRobert Gibbs joined in the name-calling.

Meanwhile, GLENN BECK has touted the book on his radio and television shows, insisting that "the White House doesn't want you to read The Roots of Obama's Rage, but you must read this book... Pick it up today!"

So, what's all the fuss about? We've prepared a short audio presentation to tell you more about it.

URGENT UPDATE: IS THE MARXIST PLAN OBAMA'S ALLIES PUT IN PLAY, SUCCEEDING??Markets Suffer Severe Drop During 1st Week of May.Just weeks ago DAPAC reported on SEIU official Steve Lerner's stated plans to crash the stock market beginning May 1. It now appears that Mr. Lerner's plan may be playing out right before our eyes. It also appears he may be receiving help from none other than Obama friend, former Nazi henchman and current Marxist one-worlder, George Soros.
On May 1st, the SEIU joined hands with the Communist Party USA and the MaoistProgressive Labor Party (PLP), staging Marxist May Day parades across the country. When market bells opened the following day, May 2nd, the New York Stock Exchange was limping along, struggling vainly toward the much promised recovery. That all ended nearly as soon as trading began. By Friday, May 6, some trade publications were describing the previous 5 days as "a week of carnage"!

On Thursday, Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell collaborated with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a backroom pact to extend the so-called "Patriot" Act - with as little debate as possible - for 4 years before some of the most liberty-savaging components expire on Friday, May 27.

The surveillance state's ability to snoop through your business records, pry into your library book checkouts, monitor so-called "lone wolfs," and spy on your personal communications through roving wiretaps will be extended until 2015, which "coincidentally" is not an election year.

SUPPORT REPS. BACHMANN, KING & GOHMERT
STOP THE BETRAYAL! NO DEAL! NO NEW DEBT CEILING!

Democrats, RINOs Reject Essential Spending Cuts, Imperil U.S.

ALERT: Democrats and the Republican Establishment BETRAY and imperil America with their relentless campaign to irresponsibly raise the national debt ceiling! They rejected the Conservative Congress' promised $100 billion spending cuts, including the $61 billion in budget reductions passed by the House. Passing instead the Socialism-compliant and absurdly bloated counteroffer of the sham 2011 Budget "Deal" designed to fool the voters by preventing the scary sham Federal government shutdown was a BETRAYAL of America in crisis. The $105.5 billion in ObamaCare start-up funds STILL continue flowing as our nation faces Constitutional disarray and bankruptcy! I say, SUPPORT and STRENGTHEN Reps. Bachmann, Gohmert & King, and shout "NO DEAL" – NO DEBT CEILING RAISE; JUST CUT THE SPENDING!

Good News: Recent college grads sour on Obama, surveys say

A very large proportion of recent university graduates have soured on President Barack Obama, and many will vote GOP or stay at home in the 2012 election, according to two new surveys of younger voters.
“These rock-solid Obama constituents are free-agents,” said Kellyanne Conway, president of The Polling Company, based in Washington, D.C. She recently completed a large survey of college grads, and “they’re shopping around, considering their options, [and] a fair number will stay at home and sit it out,” she said.
The scope of this disengagement from Obama is suggested by an informal survey of 500 post-grads by Joe Maddalone, founder of Maddalone Global Strategies. Of his sample, 93 percent are aged between 22 and 28, 67 percent are male and 83 percent voted for Obama in 2008. But only 27 percent are committed to voting for Obama again, and 80 percent said they would consider voting for a Republican, said New York-based Maddalone.

This week we are taking a major step forward in the evolution of the Tea Party movement.

Combining the efforts of our Washington Liaison, Donna Keene, with an incredible new petition tool, TheTeaParty.net is preparing to work with conservative leaders in Washington to start taking action on specific pieces of legislation, including stopping the implementation of Obamacare, the debt ceiling, and more!

Tea Party Poll

Click on "YES" or "NO." Your vote is automatically counted as you click through. No further action is required. Thank you for participating.

If you are tired of being frustrated with Washington, this is your opportunity to have an impact on the direction of our great nation! Imagine how incredible it would be if hundreds of thousands of us demanded that our Congress Members stand with Congresswoman Bachmann and not vote to raise the debt ceiling without completely defunding Obamacare! On top of that, TheTeaParty.net is also working to launch the Tea Party Cyber Tour, which will give you exclusive access to Conservative leaders around the country.

What Does Obama Gain by Snubbing Israel?

American politics underwent a tectonic shift this week, a change that apparently reflects a huge shift in political money and global power.

Breaking with more than half a century of bipartisan U.S. policy on the Middle East, President Barack Obama appeared to turn against our longtime ally Israel.

He called for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be based on Israel retreating to its pre-1967 borders, a boundary to be altered only by "a few swaps" of land between the parties.

President Obama informed Congress that he had sent U.S. forces into Libya on March 21. Under the War Powers Act, the president must ask Congressional authorization within 60 days. That deadline came Friday. On Thursday, six Republican senators sent the following letter to the president, asking whether he intended to obey the law. This is an all-too-rare instance of our elected officials having the courage to stand behind the Constitution (which restricts the warmaking power to Congress) and telling Obama to follow the rule of law. -- Ed.

White House on War Powers Deadline: 'Limited' US Role in Libya Means No Need to Get Congressional Authorization

In an effort to satisfy those arguing he needs to seek congressional authorization to continue US military activity in accordance with the War Powers Resolution, President Obama wrote a letter to congressional leaders this afternoon suggesting that the role is now so “limited” he does not need to seek congressional approval.
